Abstract:
The purpose of the Birth Defects Study To Evaluate Pregnancy exposureS (BD-STEPS) is to evaluate factors associated with the occurrence of birth defects and stillbirths and ultimately to work to prevent major birth defects and stillbirths associated with maternal risk factors. Data from BD-STEPS and the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS) will play an important part in the decision-making process that determines federal research agendas, birth defect prevention activities, and the direction of funding programs such as cooperative agreements. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to modify (BD-STEPS) Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview to align with issued EO [14168]. There is no change to the approved burden.
